Ah, just noticed that _this_ is the patch that introduces
da8xx-cfgchip.h into usb-da8xx.c. So this is the patch that introduces
the warnings (and fixes them).

I can queue this for v4.10 (with Greg's ack) if you change the
description to make it about cleaning up duplicated defines between
da8xx-cfgchip.h and usb-davinci.h and not talk about "redefined symbol
warnings".

Also, when adding a header file, can you please keep it sorted in
alphabetical order.

Thanks,
